Attentive Chanting
If we chant attentively then chanting will gradually destroy our anarthas as Rupa Gosvami has explained. As a result of bhajana-kriya, anartha-nivrtti takes place.Bhajana-kriya is the process of chanting and hearing along with the execution of the process of sadhana-bhakti. Why we are not surrendering to Krsna? Due to the presence of unlimited anarthas, which are the results of — desires from past lives & sinful activities executed prior to coming to Krsna consciousness and unlimited desires that we have accumulated from the environment and the society in which we have grown up and lived. All these anarthas are stumbling blocks. Theseanarthas cover our constitutional position to engage in the service of the Lord. That is why Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has said “ceto-darpana-marjanam [Cc. Antya 20.12].” As a result of attentive chanting and our endeavor to avoid the offenses, one is able to destroy the anarthas and gradually develop nistha. But nistha by itself is not enough. We have to keep endeavoring, endeavoring & endeavoring and then ultimately nistha culminates in krsna-prema.
